we have 2 (dos) cats
one is out all the time. very needy. the other only comes out when the kids are gone. both sleep on my wife's lap after the kids are in bed. then they follow her to bed and stay there until somewhere between 4-5 AM when the more skittish one wakes up mewling and howling. all it wants is someone to escort it down the steps. that's it. every night.
(SCENE: BEDTIME)
wife: have you seen the cat?
me: nope.
wife: do you think he got out??
me: no
wife: where do you think he is????
me:
one of his hiding spots
(SCENE: MORNING)
i've showered, shaved, dressed, woke up the kids, got them fed, made them lunches, helped get them sorted
wife: have you seen the cat??
me: nope
wife: DO YOU THINK HE GOT OUT????
me: no
wife: WHERE DO YOU THINK HE IS???!?!
me:
one of his hiding spots
(SCENE: 10 minutes later)
me: found the cat
wife: WHERE WAS HE????
me: in your dressing room closet
wife: WHAT????
me: he must have been in there all night
wife: well, i don't know how he would have got in there. i didn't shut the door. the kids must have locked him in there.
me: he was out after the kids went to bed last night
wife: well, i didn't shut him in there. i don't know what happened.
me:
no idea
wife: the kids must have done it. they probably opened the door and shut him in there.
me: :blink:
wife: well, i didn't do it
me: ok
wife: i don't even open that door. or shut it. i didn't shut him in there.
me: ok
wife: maybe it didn't get shut all the way last time someone opened it and then it got shut by someone
me: i haven't opened/shut that door in 10 years. the kids aren't allowed to open that door. that only leaves one other person.
wife: well, it wasn't me.
me: i don't care. i just told you i found the cat. how he got in there is irrelevant
wife: well, don't blame me. i didn't do it.
me: i'm not attacking you! i'm not blaming you! i'm not trying to make you look/feel bad! i just told you i found the cat!
wife: well................. i didn't do it
remember, kids, if you don't want to believe it.. you don't have to.
